When I use the command cvsup cvs-supfile I get the following error message: Release not specified for collection "host=ftp9.freebsd.org" That's nice, but I do have the following line in the cvs-supfile: Here it is in context with the line above. host=ftp9.freebsd.org release=4.5-RELEASE There is also a tag= directive in this file. # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections, # except the export-restricted collections. tag=RELENG_4_5 src-all The only other thing I put in that file is a tag for the ports colection. # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*" # collections, tag=. ports-all This is where a cookie-cutter-style example of a file that is at least syntactically correct even if it does not work would come in handy. Anyway, what kind of release information is cvsup missing? The cvs-supfile is otherwise right from the example. I don't yet know enough about it to be creative.
